In Search of Lemuria, and frogs (continued, p.2) On our way to the entrance to the reserve Analamazaotra we met korotkorogogo chameleon. I considered it a good sign. My guide Donna The day passed with mixed success. In the first 1.5 hours we did not see anything interesting, except for the orchids and several perturbed frogs. It was overcast, and even in those rare moments when the sun peeped from behind the clouds, it almost does not penetrate through the forest canopy. It was pretty cool, but the camera had to adjust to the light sensitivity of ISO 200 or even less. Palm trunk Fortunately, we soon saw Indra. Any analogy with the kids and costumes panda - just an insult to these powerful creatures, which are quite deftly jump from tree to tree, stopping only to quietly chew on a few leaves. They have no tails, but they still look very nice. One of them decided it was time to sing when I was 6 meters below it. The sound was simply stunning. Indra "sings" right over us Donna told me that Indra practically live in captivity, because they have a very diverse diet (also fully understood by humans), so it is very difficult to make, from what indriyas begin to starve and die. Still, he said that their name is translated from Malagasy means "there it is." Local legend says that once indriyas rescued the child from the attack of the bees, so now indriyas are protected by the "fade" (a taboo, an unofficial ban on the infliction of any harm, prim.perev.) Indra on the tree main trails in the reserve are in a much better condition than in Ranomafane (National Park in southeastern Madagascar, prim.perev.), but Donna prefer trips over rough terrain, so I quickly gathered on his head enough web to forget about his bald head . Earthen chameleon What we saw indriyas, was a real breakthrough, and Donna decided that we should continue in the same spirit, and soon he found not one but two full chameleons. Smaller chameleon color of leaves was terrestrial chameleon, leading predominantly nocturnal. Meet him quite difficult. But unfortunately, he lost against the backdrop of a chameleon Parson, who gently clung to a small tree. Parson's chameleon is one of the largest chameleons. He has emerald green color and its large size, no doubt, help to assess its beauty. This extra care was holding on to a tree trunk, moving from side to side as my motion, so that's all I could see - is it moving in different directions on different sides of the eye hole and his legs, firmly clutching a tree. In order to see his side, I had to quickly move the head to the left. Chameleon hid behind a twig in the park were a few tour groups that I've seen in Ambalavao (a town in central Madagascar, prim.perev.) And Ranomafane. So if you see indriyas, so somewhere near there are 10 other tourists. However, taking into account the proximity of the park to the capital Antananarivo and a wide variety of wildlife here is not so crowded. I am very surprised that the park was relatively empty. Chameleon Parson's chameleon again after a lull during which we saw several birds (Indian crested cuckoo and magpie thrush), a pair of geckos and some insects. Estimating the diversity of colorings of the local fauna, I can say that well-known "beauty contest winners" - frogs, although represented here by numerous bright individuals with interesting colors - still generally lose lemurs and a chameleon. We noticed several brown lemurs in the distance, night hairy lemur sitting on a tree, as well as a sleeping adult boa (snake, which lives in South America and Asia, and Africa almost meet). Sleeping serpent We had to pass a few hundred meters before the end of our hike, as Donna suddenly stopped and made signs to me that I behaved quietly. In the forest around us was quiet, but then before I came the quiet champ, which came from the bamboo thicket in front of us. Moving very carefully, we gradually got to the bamboo, and found sitting a few meters away from us completely indifferent to us, and amazingly beautiful golden bamboo lemur, devouring her favorite treat. This finding was a perfect conclusion of our hike, and perseverance Donna in search of interesting animals to me - despite the fact that we had to extend the campaign another 1.5 hours, for which he did not expect to pay - will ensure his work in the next time I need conductor. Golden bamboo lemur in the same evening we went to a night hike. Similar campaigns are forbidden in the reserve, so we went on the road outside the park, which may sound like an excuse, but we do not need to worry at the expense of looking at his feet. Donna said that chameleon looks white in the light of a torch, but it has not helped me find at least one of them, but one which he found, was very green, even in the light of my marching "frontal" lamp. My guide said that the green chameleons look yellow on the side on which no light falls, which he demonstrated, revealing a young chameleon Parson. The side facing us was green, but when Donna, shined his flashlight on the other side, a chameleon, his skin was yellow and gradually change color to green. We also found several species of chameleons, including a young specimen of the smallest species (the dwarf chameleon), and a few brightly colored frogs. From lemurs to us caught a mouse lemur, who was sitting just a few meters from us, and dwarf lemur, who, seeing us, ran up a tree. Unforgettable impression left shining eyes avagisa runonosnogo (view prosimians, the only representatives of a sort of shaggy Indra or avagisov, prim.perev.), Which he flashed in the distance.
